Little Orphan Annie - Take Two

As promised, here is the most recent creation of the Little Orphan Annie costume.  I am waiting for pictures from the customer of her granddaughter wearing it.  Can't wait to see it on the real live little girl.  :)

If you're curious, I used a 1970s pattern to recreate the dress.  It is an A-line dress with no waist (more comfortable for little girls) with the addition of the white belt.  This allows the little girl to wear the belt at the natural waistline or lower for a low-waisted look.  Just add white bobby socks and black Mary-Janes and you've got the look!

Amazing how time flies! 

I recently received a few requests to make Little Orphan Annie costumes for Halloween based off the pictures of my Emily on my website. It feels like just yesterday I was making that Annie costume for Emily. 

Now when I look at the pictures she seems like a totally different little girl.  The same spunk and fire!  But more grown-up.  Hard to beleive she was ever this little - but she made the PERFECT  Little Orphan Annie! 

It's going to be fun to see the costume on some new little girls - can't wait for Halloween!
